I was in Big Lots yesterday, huge display of Christmas Lights set up.
To be honest, I think it's too early for the Halloween displays to be up. No wonder all the Halloween candy tastes stale on Halloween!
I usually start thinking about Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving. I usually do all my Christmas shopping the second week of December. Last year was great because the stores were in panic mode by then, and started cutting prices. Although I swear a lot of those 25% off items were still priced higher than they were in September and October.
